Effective NEMT Booking Strategies: Tips to Keep Your Operations Tight

NEMT Booking Services to Help You Make Your Business More Client-Friendly

From MCOs to PACE programs, keeping your fleet efficient and helping as many riders as you can is the lifeblood of any NEMT service provider. This complex process has several moving parts, but it begins with people booking a trip.

A key question is “how can you optimize your NEMT booking process to ensure potential riders book their first trip with you?”

Troubleshooting for Bad Member’s Experiences in NEMT

While your business may do its best to stay proactive and manage customer needs, with recent increases in demand for NEMT, some businesses may be experiencing growing pains. As your businesses continues to grow, the following issues may arise:

  • The driver did not show – While drivers are hired because they represent the utmost professionalism, sometimes extenuating circumstances cause them to no-show. This poses a serious threat to your credibility, so it is best to look for ways to deal with this issue proactively. Your dispatchers and drivers may simply not be able to communicate in time, however, NovusMED’s automatic dispatching features can help avoid the potential no-show. By either quickly re-routing a nearby driver to fill in or sending an automatic notification to the client about driver issues, your team will be able to rectify the situation through our software.
  • Conflict between riders – This is another issue that could become a serious threat to your business. Depending on the nature of the conflict, it could unfortunately result in legal action against your company. To avoid conflict, a business should create schedules that are mindful of riders with specific behavioral needs. Instead of painstakingly looking through every rider’s file and manually creating schedules, enter your client base into the right NEMT booking services software. Our booking feature will automatically generate schedules preventing individuals from being paired in a shared ride during the scheduling process. NovusMED scheduling services alleviate the burden of manually organizing rides to better satisfy rider’s needs, eliminating the potential for human-error.
  • Members feeling like they are not being heard – The client experience is crucial for any customer-centric business, but even more so for an NEMT provider. If your riders feel unheard, it could be because their feedback process is not in place or is difficult to access. A straightforward way to remedy this issue is through NovusMED’s Passenger Portal. The Passenger Portal makes it possible for riders to leave feedback from their phone after or during their ride, fulfilling our focus on patient-centered care. Passenger feedback can become a more agile process and improve the NEMT customer experience.
  • Members want to cancel a trip – To easily rectify this challenge, members are sent push notifications the night before a scheduled ride to confirm their availability. This provides members the opportunity to cancel trips should they need to, while alleviating call center volume as members do not need to call to solve similar problems.
